How software engineering research aligns with Design Science: a review
Empirical Software Engineering, 2020Co-Authors: Emelie Engström, Martin Höst, Per Runeson, Margaret-anne Storey, Maria Teresa BaldassarreAbstract:Background Assessing and communicating software engineering research can be challenging. Design Science is recognized as an appropriate research paradigm for applied research, but is rarely explicitly used as a way to present planned or achieved research contributions in software engineering. Applying the Design Science lens to software engineering research may improve the assessment and communication of research contributions. Aim The aim of this study is 1) to understand whether the Design Science lens helps summarize and assess software engineering research contributions, and 2) to characterize different types of Design Science contributions in the software engineering literature. Method In previous research, we developed a visual abstract template, summarizing the core constructs of the Design Science paradigm. In this study, we use this template in a review of a set of 38 award winning software engineering publications to extract, analyze and characterize their Design Science contributions. Results We identified five clusters of papers, classifying them according to their different types of Design Science contributions. Conclusions The Design Science lens helps emphasize the theoretical contribution of research output—in terms of technological rules—and reflect on the practical relevance, novelty and rigor of the rules proposed by the research.

A review of software engineering research from a Design Science perspective.
arXiv: Software Engineering, 2019Co-Authors: Emelie Engström, Martin Höst, Per Runeson, Margaret-anne Storey, Maria Teresa BaldassarreAbstract:Background: Communicating software engineering research to industry practitioners and to other researchers can be challenging due to its context dependent nature. Design Science is recognized as a pragmatic research paradigm, addressing this and other characteristics of applied and prescriptive research. Applying the Design Science lens to software engineering research may improve the communication of research contributions. Aim: The aim of this study is to 1) evaluate how well the Design Science lens helps frame software engineering research contributions, and 2) identify and characterize different types of Design Science contributions in the software engineering literature. Method: In previous research we developed a visual abstract template, summarizing the core constructs of the Design Science paradigm. In this study, we use this template in a review of a selected set of 38 top software engineering publications to extract and analyze their Design Science contributions. Results: We identified five clusters of papers, classified based on their alignment to the Design Science paradigm. Conclusions: The Design Science lens helps to pinpoint the theoretical contribution of a research output, which in turn is the core for assessing the practical relevance and novelty of the prescribed rule as well as the rigor of applied empirical methods in support of the rule.

TRiDS: Treatments for Risks in Design Science
2017Co-Authors: John Venable, Jan Vom Brocke, Robert WinterAbstract:Conducting Design Science Research (DSR) has many risks. Extant literature, such as the Risk Management Framework for Design Science Research (RMF4DSR), provides advice for identifying risks, but provides few suggestions for specific treatments for the kinds of risks that potentially plague DSR. This paper analyses known DSR risks from RMF4DSR, augments them with other risks identified, and develops a purposeful artefact (TRiDS: Treatments for Risks in Design Science), which provides 46 specific suggestions for treating known risks in DSR. The treatments identified are classified into 13 different categories and reference is made to relevant literature for guiding the application of each treatment. The treatment suggestions and guidance serve as a supplement to existing frameworks and methods for risk identification and management in DSR.

FEDS: a Framework for Evaluation in Design Science Research
European Journal of Information Systems, 2016Co-Authors: John Venable, Jan Pries-heje, Richard BaskervilleAbstract:Evaluation of Design artefacts and Design theories is a key activity in Design Science Research (DSR), as it provides feedback for further development and (if done correctly) assures the rigour of the research. However, the extant DSR literature provides insufficient guidance on evaluation to enable Design Science Researchers to effectively Design and incorporate evaluation activities into a DSR project that can achieve DSR goals and objectives. To address this research gap, this research paper develops, explicates, and provides evidence for the utility of a Framework for Evaluation in Design Science (FEDS) together with a process to guide Design Science researchers in developing a strategy for evaluating the artefacts they develop within a DSR project. A FEDS strategy considers why, when, how, and what to evaluate. FEDS includes a two-dimensional characterisation of DSR evaluation episodes (particular evaluations), with one dimension being the functional purpose of the evaluation (formative or summative) and the other dimension being the paradigm of the evaluation (artificial or naturalistic). The FEDS evaluation Design process is comprised of four steps: (1) explicate the goals of the evaluation, (2) choose the evaluation strategy or strategies, (3) determine the properties to evaluate, and (4) Design the individual evaluation episode(s). The paper illustrates the framework with two examples and provides evidence of its utility via a naturalistic, summative evaluation through its use on an actual DSR project.

soft Design Science methodology
Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology, 2009Co-Authors: Richard L Baskerville, Jan Priesheje, John VenableAbstract:This paper proposes and evaluates a soft systems approach to Design Science research. Soft Design Science provides an approach to the development of new ways to improve human organizations, especially with consideration for social aspects, through the activities of Design, development, instantiation, evaluation and evolution of a technological artifact. The Soft Design Science approach merges the common Design Science research process (Design, build-artifact, evaluation) together with the iterative soft systems methodology. The Design-build artifact-evaluation process is iterated until the specific requirements are met. The generalized requirements are adjusted as the process continues to keep alignment with the specific requirements. In the end, the artifact represents a general solution to a class of problems shown to operate in one instance of that class of problems. The proposed methodology is evaluated by an analysis of how it differs from, and could have informed and improved, a published Design Science study, which used a Design-oriented action research method.
